Sorta. I stand by what I said, but I just left out all of the stuff that would have to happen in between. Sometimes, an exaggerated reaction makes a better point.

Seriously, though, I think that the US is increasingly on the road to a totalitarian police state, where the illusion of freedoms that we may not actually have is what keeps us in line and helps to mask the slow march toward that police state.

And if that's the direction we're headed, compulsory voting for predetermined candidates could be in the cards somewhere down the line.
